I'm trying to make a "line" of image thumbs, where it scrolls on mousemove. And I got it to work, but my problem now is that i wanted to make a "padding" on the sides so I doesn't have to have the mouse all the way out to the sides to see the first/last thumb. But I really really can't get it to work :/
This is the script I have now:
// MouseMove scrolling on thumbs
var box = $('.thumbs-block'),
innerBox = $('.thumbs'),
lastElement = innerBox.find('a:last-child');
var offsetPx = 100;
var boxOffset = box.offset().left;
var boxWidth = box.width() /* - (offsetPx*2)*/;
var innerBoxWidth = (lastElement[0].offsetLeft + lastElement.outerWidth(true)) - boxOffset /* + (offsetPx*2)*/;
scrollDelayTimer = null;
box.mousemove(function (e) {
console.log('boxWidth: ' + boxWidth + ' innerBoxWidth: ' + innerBoxWidth + ' box.scrollLeft(): ' + box.scrollLeft());
var mouseX = e.pageX;
var boxMouseX = mouseX - boxOffset;
if ((boxMouseX > offsetPx) && (boxMouseX < (boxWidth - offsetPx))) {
var left = (boxMouseX * (innerBoxWidth - boxWidth) / boxWidth) /* - offsetPx*/;
clearTimeout(scrollDelayTimer);
scrollDelayTimer = setTimeout(function () {
scrollDelayTimer = null;
box.stop().animate({
"scrollLeft": left
}, {
queue: false,
duration: 500,
easing: 'linear'
});
}, 10);
}
});
There are some of the places I've tried adding the offset (commented out inline), some of it gets it working in one end but not the other :/
I'm pretty sure it's a problem in the math, but I can't figure out what I should do :/
Here's a jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/6CJfs/1/
I hope I made my problem clear enough, not sure how to explain it otherwise, and hope someone can help :)
